AGE smart®

Firm to smooth away the signs of skin aging. Control aging triggers before they start.

AGE Smart® contains scientifically advanced ingredients proven to impact the major biochemical reactions that contribute to skin aging before they start, so your skin is left smoother, firmer and healthier. AGE Smart® is the intelligent investment in your future skin.

how it works

AGE Smart works by impacting the main biochemical reactions that manifest the signs of skin aging: the formation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS, also known as free radicals), the generation of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) and the development of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs).

I've been using Deramalogica for over 20 years and am constantly trying to find the perfect combos. The first time I used this serum was in the morning. I applied it under Super Rich Repair before applying my foundation. I hated it! It made my face feel way too matte and the texture was odd. I like to feel dewy fresh before applying foundation and this was the opposite. I was ready to exchange the product and then thought, well, try it one more time in the evening. This time I wore it under Over Night Repair Serum. OMG, what a difference. These 2 products go together like peanut butter and jelly! I woke up with super smooth amazing skin. Seriously, this is the best my skin has looked in a long time, I even went out makeup free today! This is going to be my new night time routine. I will not wear in the AM but love it for the PM.

I like it although it is still too new to know the long term benefits for my aging skin. My biggest concern is that I have to use a lot at a time because it absorbs quickly into the skin. It will run out too quickly and be too expensive to maintain.

I love using this product after my toner and before my primer. I have hyperpigmentation on my face and I believe that this has truly helped with reducing my hyperpigmentation. It has wonderful essential vitamins that are great to use and apply to your facial region without being too overpowering.

I've definitely enjoyed using this product! I have an oily T-zone, acne prone skin, and most noticeably hyperpigmentation from acne scars. The texture of the Serum left my skin feeling velvety and matte but also hydrated and plump (a very rare thing to accomplish with oily skin!) and did not in any way irritate my skin or cause breakouts. The areas surrounding my acne scars had a lighter complexion, but I give 4 stars because it didn't ease the acne scars as much as I was hoping. I'm choosing the Pure Bright line to really bust those acne scars. Otherwise if you have dry, sensitive or oily skin I would absolutely recommend this as a supplement to your skincare! Noticeably healthier skin from texture and complexion to gentle hydration and oil control.

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. You can use one in the morning and one at night.

Kind Regards,

Bernadette

Q:

Hi

Does this serum make my skin sensitive for sunlight, like other creams that contain Vitamin A/Retinol, or can I use it during summer time to? Spend a lot of my time out in the sun all year. Looking for a serum that can help with fine lines and get back elasticity in my skin. Already use your Age Smart dynamic skin recovery spf 50 as a morning cream.

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. This does not make you sensitive to the sun.

Kind Regards,

Bernadette

Q:

I have issues with blackheads and small pimples as well as sensitive skin, but want to manage the wrinkles I'm starting to develop. I am 37. Is this the right product? If not, can you recommend another? Thanks!

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. You can use Multivitamin Power Firm on the eye area.

Kind Regards,Bernadette

Q:

I currently use the Antioxidant Hydramist and Power Rich, followed by an eye cream and moisturizer. (On alternate evenings I use the Skin Resurfacing Cleanser and I replace the Power Rich with the Overnight Repair Serum).

Would it make sense to add the Multivitamin Power Serum to my regimen, especially during day time. If so when should I add it (can it be used with Power Rich or instead of?)
